Setup with instructions This is a ready-made set of printed materials, so there is nothing to install or program. Guided setup fits because someone needs to match the graphics to the lessons and help the student learn to read tactile images. A family member or classroom aide can do this with the product's instructions in about 30 minutes, though a teacher of students with visual impairments will get the best results.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Life Science Tactile Graphics is a set of raised, colorful diagrams and figures that students can explore by touch. Each graphic carries labels in UEB (Unified English Braille), so a braille reader can follow the same science figures their classmates see in a textbook. It's meant for students who are blind or have low vision and need an accessible version of life science illustrations. A teacher of students with visual impairments will likely want to match the graphics to the lesson and teach the student how to read tactile images, since that skill takes practice.

  • With a guide
    1. Match each graphic to the figure it stands for in the textbook or lesson plan.
